I am 46 years old. I have been a Mom more than half of my life and continue to help raise children in the foster care system in Indiana.
We would like to thank you for supporting Erin Venice-Fortner in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I have found that I am more comfortable being ME. When I was younger I often hid parts of myself out of fear of not being accepted. In my 40’s, I have learned that the right people will love me for me and the wrong ones won’t. I appreciate the confidence that I have gained in my 40’s. I am more comfortable in my own skin and can appreciate the qualities that make me, me. I can look in the mirror and be proud of the person I am, even if I fall short at times.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay active in life. I try to keep up the daily hustle and bustle of being a working Mom and raising kids of all ages. I keep my family close ~ they are my very best friends. I choose to put my heart and soul into everything that I do.
What would you do with the $40,000?First and foremost, I would pay off some of our debt that covid brought in our family. I would also take the time to get away for some time to myself. I spend so much of my life doing for others, and I would give myself the gift of some ME time. ♥️
